- Tell us a little about your background...
I am a New York City based singer, lyricist, composer, poet and educator. My most recent recording, Circle Completing, is a set of lyrical duets with pianist John DiMartino that, in addition to being a tribute to the legendary singer Jimmy Scott, pays homage to my roots in standards and blues and encapsulates some of my life story thus far.
I have two new recordings as a sideman coming out soon, Toward The Hill Of Joy with trombonist, composer George Brandon's Septet, tentative release date January, 2010 and one that I've just completed, a live recording with legendary avant garde multi-instrumentalist and founder of Birth Records, Gunter Hampel and his European Trio on October 5, 2009 in NYC.
Currently, I lead: The Nora McCarthy Qu 'ART' et and A Small Dream In Red - Voice and Saxophone Duo. I co-lead with alto saxophonist Jorge Sylvester, The ConceptualMotion 20-piece all original music Orchestra; and, The ACE (Afro-Caribbean-Experimental) Collective.
I recently was asked to join UKJazzRadio.com and I presents "New York Jazz Expressions" a show which features a vast array of vocal and instrumental jazz recordings from early jazz to the avant-garde and free music art forms highlighting those artists currently on the cutting edge of the scene today as well as those legendary artists whose contributions to the music are undeniable. An exciting journey into the music that is synonymous with New York City.
For the past 5 years, I've been a member of "A Chorus of Poets" conducted by Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris.
Through my vast experience in the jazz and creative music field, I have developed a unique approach to teaching voice and improvisation and founded "The Zen Of Singing...The Spiritual Path To Finding Your Voice" ™ and I teach privately, conduct workshop world-wide and offer on-line instruction through my teaching website.

Thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoy the video. It was shot on an iPhone by a friend in the audience, so we got bits and pieces of a couple of songs. I'm hoping to video all the gigs from here on and post complete tunes...
Love,
Jaijai
How are you songbird? I'm doing well. Let's keep in touch.
Many blessings,
